Standing in my safari lodge's Land Cruiser in the midday African heat watching The Great Migration take place {tail end of the river crossing pictured above} was easily one of my top five travel-wow moments. And while getting to and from Africa is a trek, it's SO worth putting "African Safari" on your once-in-a-lifetime, dream-trip list.

See my first-hand account of viewing the Migration, getting {almost} intimate with a baboon and glamping beside the Mara River, here.

PS: The above photos were snapped with my point-and-shoot Sony camera. I wish I'd splurged for the occasion and brought a fancy camera.
